I am looking for a 5.1 setup. I already have a DVD/VCR combo, so if that is included with the amplifier and will cause the price to go higher then I don't need that, I need just an amplifier. My game platforms include: NES, SNES, N64, Gamecube, PS2, and Genesis. And while this is no concern now, it would be possible to connect a laptop to the sound system right? So it seems that most people suggest I don't buy a subwoofer from this site? Is it that they are just expensive? Because I'm willing to pay a little more if the quality is better.
